I studied abroad in modern times

Zheng Fa observed the growth of those spiritual plants.

Spiritual plants are different from ordinary plants - he discovered this in the nursing home.

For example, the Evergreen Talisman can spawn ordinary plants and mature them overnight, which can shorten the time to cultivate crops to the extreme.

But it was useless to the spiritual peas grown by Zheng Fa - in Zheng Fa's conjecture, this was because they contained spiritual energy and were "resistant" to the spiritual talismans.

To put it more simply, the function of the talisman is interfered with by the spiritual energy in its body.

He guessed that some sects probably had secret techniques that could speed up the maturation of certain spiritual plants.

But something like this Jin Zhong, which directly caused the rapid growth of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts in an entire medicine garden - not to mention Zheng Fa, even Senior Sister Zhang had never heard of it.

"Time..." Senior Sister Zhang's eyes were misty, "I'm afraid Tian Zun is more powerful than we imagined..."

Zheng Fa's eyes flashed with silver light as he looked at the various spiritual plants in the medicine garden. He seemed to be observing something and did not hear Senior Sister Zhang's whisper.

"Junior brother, what are you looking at?"

Senior Sister Zhang asked curiously.

"I'm watching the growth of spiritual energy on these spiritual plants...it's very strange..."

His mind just moved and he thought of Lingmu Lei.

To be more precise, he thought of his previous experience of observing the growth of pea seedlings and summarizing a kind of Lingmulei.

Under the influence of Lingmu Lei, the peas changed from not containing aura to containing aura - to put it simply, the pea seedlings underwent a mutation led by Lingmu Lei.

Therefore, he wanted to see if this kind of mutation also existed in this medicine garden.

I didn’t expect to find it!

"Strange?" Senior Sister Zhang frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"Every type of spiritual plant will experience a surge in spiritual energy at the same time during a round of sun and moon rotation! This surge will occur twenty-four times in one round!"

Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment, then opened her Dongxu Spiritual Eyes and looked towards the medicine garden.

After a while, she nodded slowly.

"Indeed." Senior Sister Zhang affirmed, "Although the strength of the spiritual energy produced by each spiritual plant is different, every time the sun and moon turn, their spiritual energy will actually change twenty-four times at the same time?"

"Twenty-four?"

Senior Sister Yuan on the side suddenly said, "Aren't there twenty-four statues in the temple before? And there are those twenty-four chairs!"

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other and nodded lightly.

The number twenty-four is not ordinary, and Senior Sister Yuan’s association is natural.

But Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa's expression and suddenly asked, "Do you have other ideas?"

Zheng Fa had no intention of hiding anything in front of the two senior sisters, and said, "Senior sister, do you still remember what Han Zhenren of Qianhe Sect said back then, that the secret techniques of spiritual farming are all related to solar terms?"

"You mean the twenty-four solar terms?"

Zheng Fa nodded.

"Then these twenty-four are the gods in charge of solar terms?"

"I don't know about that." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "It's just that I have a feeling now..."

"Um?"

"Lingmu Lei, maybe there are twenty-four..."

"Twenty-four types? There is some truth..." Senior Sister Zhang frowned slightly, obviously feeling that it was a bit too much, "This... you need to study."

Indeed, it was a coincidence that Zheng Fa developed the first spiritual wood thunder.

If there are twenty-four ways, depending on luck, I really don’t know that I will have to study them until the year of the monkey.

Zheng Fa looked at the rapidly growing spiritual plants in the medicine garden and suddenly had an idea in his mind:

In fact, if we were to measure the strength of the magnetic field when spiritual energy suddenly changes in this medicine garden, we would say twenty-four and two hundred and forty are very simple...

Just need an electromagnetic laboratory!

well?

Zheng Fa suddenly glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, his eyes thoughtful.

Since Senior Sister Zhang can serve as a talisman laboratory.

Isn't Xiao Yuying's Yuan magnetic body a good electromagnetic laboratory?

It shouldn't be a problem to at least measure the magnetic field strength.

It's just that this woman is rich and powerful, so it may not be easy for her to cooperate obediently.

Sure enough, it is difficult for a person with a good background to be tricked into being a bully...

…

When the golden bell fell, spiritual plants rose up from the medicine garden and landed in front of Zheng Fa - the same spiritual plants he had selected on the jade tablet before.

As for the other spiritual plants, they remained motionless.

This golden bell didn't look easy to mess with, so even Senior Sister Yuan didn't dare to reach out and pick the other spiritual plants.

Zheng Fa held the silver seal in front of him, his heart moved, and he suddenly understood something. He said to Senior Sister Zhang on the side: "Shall we go to other places to see?"

The two senior sisters nodded, obviously interested.

His spirit rested on the silver seal, which summoned three more soft winds, dragging Zheng Fa towards the other "islands".

The first one is closest to the medicine garden.

"The shape of this land..." Before landing, Senior Sister Zhang said, "It is vaguely consistent with the medicine garden?"

Zheng Fa also looked carefully at the edge of the "island" in front of him, recalled the shape of the medicine garden just now, and couldn't help but nodded.

A dozen courtyards stood in front of them.

There seemed to be some smell in the air, and Senior Sister Zhang's expression changed, as if she wanted to speak.

A ray of light flashed from the silver seal, and as soon as it was swept over the three people, the smell dissipated immediately.

"Senior Sister Zhang?"

"This should be the place where Tiangong alchemy is made." Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "The smell just now must be from medicinal materials or elixirs that have been stored for a long time and are poisonous. If it weren't for this silver seal, we'd better leave immediately."

The three of them walked into a courtyard. There was only one entrance to this courtyard. There was an alchemy furnace in the main room, but the alchemy furnace was empty.

There are several rows of medicine shelves in the side room on the left. There should be some elixirs on them. At this time, they have dried up into thin black lines.

The smell just now was probably coming from these things.

In the room on the right are dozens of jade bottles and gourds, probably where the refined elixirs are stored.

As expected, the jade bottles and gourds were also empty. Even if there were any leftovers, they seemed to have been accidentally left behind. After years of ravage, they could no longer be consumed.

They walked to other courtyards.

The appearance inside is similar, except that some of the alchemy furnaces in the courtyard were pushed down, and some gourds and jade bottles fell to the ground. It seemed that there had been a fight.

"It's unusual for the alchemy room and medicine garden to be in the same place."

Walking out of the courtyard, Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said.

"So this Heavenly Palace is one?" Zheng Fa understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant and said, "I'm afraid there was a big war."

"Yes, judging from the state of the alchemy room, the people here seem to know that there will be danger here and are preparing to evacuate in advance..."

The three of them walked around the courtyards again and found nothing else.

They headed towards other "islands".

The remaining islands were even more disappointing.

These are like some powerful caves, but they are already empty, and there are no treasures or secrets inside.

"Sure enough, these people probably all evacuated early... so they wouldn't leave anything behind."

"But that golden bell?"

Senior Sister Yuan said in confusion.

Zheng Fa understood what she meant. The golden bell looked like a good treasure at first glance. If he really wanted to run away, wouldn't it be good to take that thing with him?

"I don't know about this." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a while and said, "I think it's not that I don't want to take the golden bell away, but that I can't take it away."

Zheng Fa nodded, feeling that this guess was very reliable.

…

After visiting several "islands" in a row, they found nothing, which made Senior Sister Yuan look a little bored on her face.

The last island is the largest.

This is a magnificent and dilapidated palace complex. There are about a thousand palaces, but none of them is intact...

There were collapsed palace walls everywhere, jade pillars smashed to the ground, broken into pieces of rubble.

"This is probably the residence of the master of Tiangong." Senior Sister Zhang said, "I'm afraid it's also the place where the war took place."

The three of them walked towards the depths of the palace.

Most of the palaces are empty and nothing remains.

There are also several magic weapons in some palaces - but after the erosion of time and without the care of the owner, most of them have become dim and dull, leaving no power at all.

After the tour just now, they were mentally prepared. They were not disappointed at this time and just walked straight in.

Finally, they came to a palace in the deepest part.

The palace here was originally the largest, but it was also the most severely damaged, with only its foundations left.

Several people were walking among them. Suddenly, Senior Sister Yuan pointed to a corner of the courtyard wall and shouted, "What is there?"

Zheng Fa raised his eyes and saw that the courtyard wall was as tall as one person, and something was shining on it.

When a few people came closer, they saw two rows of cyan writing on it. They didn't know what was used to write it on the wall. Not only did it not fade away over the years, it also glowed dimly.

Zheng Fa looked at it twice before confirming that he didn't know this kind of word.

In other words, we can only understand it paradoxically.

"Senior Sister Zhang?"

"This is probably a font from before the last era. I have seen it in classics." Senior Sister Zhang frowned and said, "Let me take a look..."

She read slowly:

"All living beings are ignorant and have no basis for support. The divine way is the wedding garment, and the deity is no longer one's own."

"Today Jiuyou..."

Senior Sister Zhang's tone was soft and she looked at Zheng Fa.

Jiuyou...

"Today Jiuyou wants to open a way for Xuanwei, but the gods block the way, so I will commit suicide."

These two words made Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang fall into silence.

Even Senior Sister Yuan, who had always been ignorant at the side, stammered and asked: "Does this Jiuyou mean the Jiuyou Demon Ancestor?"

"I'm afraid..."

It doesn't mean that others can't be called Jiuyou.

But the Heavenly Lord in this world is supposed to have extraordinary strength. How many Jiuyou people in the history of Xuanwei world can kill him?

The most likely possibility is that it is the current Jiuyou Demon Ancestor.

"Then...the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor...opens the way for all living beings? Then don't we have no work to do?"

Senior Sister Yuan's tone was full of confusion.

Zheng Fa was also a little speechless - he knew before that the Demon Ancestor himself might not be the spokesperson of the old law as he had imagined in his early years.

Now it's confirmed here.

Even... how similar is the original intention of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor to him and to Venerable Tianhe?

But what about now?

Zheng Fa looked at the sky. At this time, he was thinking about one thing - these demon ancestors were actually young dragon-slayers who turned into evil dragons. Or is the boy dead and the one who lives is the evil dragon?

Or maybe the Demon Ancestors really took another path?
